The Magazine — Issue No. 1
A photo journal by Rubina Atif, Winnipeg REALTOR®
I love to travel, and I love nature — butterflies, the colours of the sky, sunsets, fall, even snowflakes. Here is a little about what I photograph and why. My own gallery is coming as I get the photos sorted.
01 — On the road
Travel
I love to travel. Some trips are long and planned, others are just an afternoon drive out of the city — but I always come home with something worth photographing.
02 — Close to home
Prairie drives
Manitoba rewards anyone willing to drive an hour in any direction. Big sky, open road, and small towns worth stopping in — a lot of my favourite views are within a short drive of Winnipeg.
03 — Small wonders
Nature & butterflies
Butterflies, wildflowers, and the small details most people walk straight past. These are the things I slow down for, and they are the hardest and most rewarding things to photograph.
04 — Colours of the sky
Sunsets & skies
Manitoba skies are the best show in town and it is free every evening. Pink, orange, violet — all of it changing by the minute, and gone ten minutes later.
05 — Fall & winter
Seasons
Fall is short here, so you learn to take the walk the day the colour peaks. Then winter arrives and I go looking for snowflakes — every one different, and only yours for a few seconds.
06 — Through the lens
Photography at home
Tea, an old camera, and a notebook on the kitchen table — that is usually where the week's photos get looked at properly. I believe the spaces we live in should feel calm and a little bit joyful, and I bring that same idea into how I help people find a home.
